I wonder what additional parameters other than than number of participants and length of the event would have to be considered for a more reliable tool to predict the number of issues to be expected at an OST event.

Hihi, Michael:-)

As far as I experienced there is no rule or reliable answer to this question - it depends on so many factors (e.g. how urgent is the os, how complex the question, how unknown the answer, how conflictual the problem, how diverse the group and so on).

But one thing I was able to see so often is that the younger the people are the more issues they raise. In open spaces with children there are sometimes as many issues as people participate, the maximum I saw was 1.3 issues per person (in a 1.5 day os with around 100 people).

I also remember one girl who raised eleven issues in a three-day open space with six starting times.

And i remember the boy, who negotiated his issue in the same open space over the whole time, again and again and supplemented and expanded it and finally probably negotiated with all 250 people right up to the action planning. It was: "Cocoa instead of milk in the breaks". At the next meeting he reported and justified with a broad chest and proudly that it was not implemented after he had gone through all school instances (and democracy learned from it).

Sunny greetings to all of you!

Christian

And then there was the time when Michael Pannwitz and I had 2108 participants… And I think we ended up with 175 Groups. We grossly under-estimated (75) – but fortunately you can add groups as  many as you need. The People are always right, and they will claim the space they need. Facilitators are only guessing – and then just get out of the way J

*Subject:* [OSList] number of breakout groups

Hello all

A number of years ago I seem to remember a resource shared on this list that calculated an average number of breakout groups that tended to show up according to the total number of participants based on the cumulated experience of this community. Does this ring a bell with anyone? I think it was an excel sheet. I'd like to find it again, but so far my searching hasn't lead to anything.

Here's hoping!

Lori
